Gandhiji had said “There is no such thing as Gandhism”. But in this era of violence and terrorism, Gandhian thoughts and values have great significance. We should teach the importance of these values in our life for the new generation so that we’ll have a peaceful world at least in the future.
Terrorism is definitely a threat to our nation. But violence within our country is becoming an equally important threat. We Indians had very anxious moments during the previous days when the judgement of Ayodhya issue came after so many years. But Indians had shown that we’d matured enough than we were in 1992. Most of us including the political parties and various religious organizations handled it in a very matured way. But it’s unfortunate that some of our politicians utilized this situation for their cheap political gain. But I hope Indians will realize this and give them the right answer during the next election.
Previously people turned into violent activities as a last resort. But now a days the situation has changed. Most of us are using violence as our first resort itself. This is causing threat not only to our lives but also to the development of our entire nation. If we look at the condition of the countries where violence is a normal phenomenon, this fact can be understood. To have a peaceful world, not only all the nations should have a peaceful atmosphere, but also they should have a better understanding with other nations. For achieving this, Gandhian values can play a significant role.
Hoping to see a peaceful world before my last heart beat…
Jai Hind.
